Welcome to our church! We hope this gives you a bit of a glimpse into who we are and why we are excited to be followers of Jesus.

Wherever you are at in your understanding and heart for Jesus, we would love to journey with you. There is no entrance examination required for participation, just a desire to learn about God and love your neighbour.
Whether you’re a mature believer or just curious to check out this “Jesus thing,” we welcome you to join us in our quest to know God better through our Sunday morning worship, through our dedication to Jesus’ life and teaching and through loving service to the world around us.
We wish you God’s strength and blessing on your faith journey, and we are eager to help you in any way that we can.

Help your church to grow in health! As part of the Healthy Church process, we welcome Pastor Martin Vellekoop, who will walk us through the data from our recent survey. We will consider together what God might be calling this church to be and do in the years ahead. Whether or not you completed the survey, we very much value your input to this discussion, which will guide the direction of the Terrace CRC over the next several years.

April 1 – Tapestry Church (Classical Ministry Share)

A few years ago, Classis B.C. Northwest and Home Missions saw the need for a stronger Christian Reformed presence in the fast-growing Asian population of Richmond, B.C.. Out of this need, the Tapestry Church was born. Chinese pastor Albert Chu and his Dutch wife Ellen Vander Grift, are typical of the multicultural character of the church, which represents 16 countries and many racially mixed couples. Let’s do our part today by supporting the Tapestry with our gifts.

Coffee Break: All ladies are invited to attend Coffee Break Bible Study on Wednesday mornings from 9am-11am. Coffee and child care are provided. Please feel free to invite your friends and neighbours as well! If you have any questions please contact Lucy (635-9610 or Tracy (615-0058).
